After today's modest NorCal rain event, things will dry out and warm up in California for about a week. But after that, there are consistent and strengthening indications of a quite wet, arguably "El Niño"-like pattern developing by mid-Nov. NorCal could see heavy rainfall then.
ALT Map for North Pacific ocean 500mb GPH anomalies as depicted by ECMWF ensemble for mid-November. A classical "El Niño"-like pattern is present, with subtropical Pacific ridging northwest of Hawaii and a deep trough 1000 miles west of California allowing the Pacific jet stream to flatten and direct storms directly toward the state.
ALT Map showing ECMWF ensemble predicted precipitation anomalies during mid-November. They are above (wetter) than average statewide, and are especially wet in Northern California.

Many are (confusingly) referring to record-breaking CA coastal water levels as arising from "king tides" despite only moderate astronomical influence. Instead, main culprit is local sea rise from extreme El Niño event! Actual Nov-Jan king tides will bring *greater* inundation.

Big Sur, California just recorded its warmest water temperature in recorded history.
67.3°F on Monday, 11°F above normal.
Record warm waters for October now span much of the California coast from San Diego to the Bay Area. You can see well above normal sea surface temperatures spreading north throughout October.
